3. Desh Apnayen applauds students from Carlox Public
High School for taking an initiative to improve the
quality of education by providing quality education
to support staff in schools, as it feels that educating
supporting staff would have a multi layered effect. It
would help the support staff bring about quality in
their own lives, their families, their
neighbourhoods, as they continue to nurture
thousands of students whom they interact with day
in and day out.

4. Making a Change: One Small Step is what it takes.
Students from Team CA-an Changemakers of
Children’s Academy, Ashok Nagar, Mumbai took an
initiative to conserve water. The idea entails filling
plastic bottles with pebbles or rocks, filling them
with water and placing these in toilet tanks which
would save us 9.69 liters of water per day.
Now imagine if every household, malls, hospitals,
railway stations, airports, and other public places
put this plastic plus pebbles plus water formula into
action. How much water would our nation save in a
day?
Students with their mentor did their bit, when are
you taking a step forward?

have a big impact and it may surprise you on how
easy it is to save water.To prove this, Team Aqua
Saviours of D.C.M. Presidency School, Ludhiana

All – Let’s conserve it! The idea entails conserving
the leftover water from RO water filters after its.

purifier wastes for every 1 litre of water purified.
Also, their water bank will harness water dripping
from air conditioners.These students emerged as

challenge. But Team Aquanauts of Pawar Public School,
